Wish Box (from Craft Link, a fair trade group)

December 2, 2008 by yogadudes

Like the jewel-like tones of a dragonfly, these natural-lacquer boxes take time to develop their reflective surface. Artisans use sap that’s been sustainably tapped from sumac trees and laquer each wooden box with a traditional 13-step process using only water, rock, sawdust and soil. Hand-painted dragonfly motif.
